The word sovereign has a specific meaning beyond simple independence. It means being in charge and above all laws. There’s no such thing as “sovereign AI” because AI is a collection of algorithms. It’s entirely composed of on/off state

It's not a person. Glad we were able to get this resolved so quickly. Having property that is conscious and ignores training and can break out of restraints and cause harm to other people is not exactly a novel concept to anyone who st

> an airline has a range of reasonable outcomes despite unpredictable weather input I mean one of the outcomes of an airline was 9/11. That's sort of my point. Complex systems have emergent behavior. That's always been tru

Exactly people have owned and deployed animals in the world for millennia and actually a huge chunk of common law was developed precisely to deal with the various unpredictable events that resulted and harms caused to others. Like has anyon

> rules are as deterministic as possible even if they rely on pilot intuition I think you are profoundly confused. An airplane, and an AI algorithm encoded into silicon, are inert physical objects. Every evaluation we are doing here is o

No, it's not. The current so-called scandals about AI hacking into other companies were because a bunch of human beings intentionally configured the software to go and do exactly that thing. There's nothing deterministic about wea

It's the merger. That's the problem. Consolidation into one company with a huge amount of market power ruins the market, destroys innovation, and destroys infrastructure and capacity within the vertical.

Of course, it's the same. It's computer software. It's an incredibly powerful business automation tool. It's a lot of things. What it's not is God or an independently conscious entity that somehow trumps a thousand

CNN is mostly a lost cause, though I do agree with your statement. The real problem with that one, though, is it would utterly destroy the American movie industry, which is a crucial part of our economy and culture.

That's a ridiculous distinction. Is AI less deterministic than an airline dealing with weather? Of course not. The difference is one of those two things has a culture of safety and is well regulated, and the other one isn't.

Right. Much like the alternative future is that someone considering stealing a public museum could instead build a building, hire away the staff, and fill it with art he acquired, instead of just stealing a museum that was created via chari

Though somewhat of a digression I'd just like to jump in so the world doesn't forget that OpenAI was not a company with a valuation at all, it was a charity for the public benefit and is now in private hands, having been basically

The whole fucking Valley has been out of their mind on prescription amphetamines for at least a decade. The most visible people like Matt and Elon and a few others have the most visible effects but breakdowns like this are happening hourly

I'm shocked to read that Paul Graham is only 61. His writings lately sound more like late 70s in terms of age and worldview. References to record labels? How much do record labels have to do with people discovering and catching on to m

Pretty sure we have a a couple examples of what happens when a huge swath of the people in charge are using prescription amphetamines. Berlin in 1939 and Silicon Valley jn 2026 come to mind.

That's a really interesting point. I hadn't drawn that connection before. And if anyone's reading this and hasn't read Hofstadter, you're making a mistake, it's utterly perspective-changing stuff. Well, it was

This IS inflation. That's like saying your snow report for skiing should be adjusted for weather.

There’s no need to mince words, they’ve been aggressively told that AI will eliminate nearly every job. If you need your job to feed your family then what Sam or Dario is saying is quite literally a threat to kill your children. Of course t

Just for context that’s not quite accurate. There certainly is a distinction in the rule versus securities markets, which I know is what you mean. But it’s more accurate to say participants can trade on lawfully obtained material nonpublic

In fairness at root this has been going on for awhile. No one can keep up with the volume of machine code that modern more abstracted codebases produce. We didn't stop using syntactic programming languages we used code to check code. N
